Description

Magnesium ions play a pivotal role in nucleic acid biochemistry, enzyme activation and many biological systems. This text reviews major areas of current research interest in this field, from inorganic chemistry, nucleic biochemistry and enzymology to ribozyme activation, drug-magnesium-DNA interactions and magnesium transport by selective membrane channels. The book is designed to be useful to students or non-specialist researchers and should interest molecular biologists, pharmaceutical chemists and the biotechnological industry.
